The Empire is comprised of your typical fantasy elements like knights, elves, and other magical things, while the Beasts are a magical race with a big chip on their shoulder following their defeat to the Empire. The musical score more than makes up for what is going on and helps to keep you in the game.Īrmies of Exigo takes place in the world of Noran where three factions, the Empire, Beasts, and Fallen, battle for control. Voice acting isn’t the best I’ve heard, but it suffices and doesn’t grate on your nerves. One of the really impressive aspects of the entire presentation is that you can sometimes have up to 200 soldiers battling it out at once, resulting in epic conflicts. Little details are also thrown in for good measure. Units are a little bigger than those found in other games and reminiscent of the painted models found in tabletop war games. Unit design is pretty standard for fantasy-based RTSs, but I enjoyed the “fullness” of each character. The transition between above and below ground areas is also handled nicely. Maps are big and full of areas to plan big bases or stage ambushes. Those who look a little deeper will find Armies of Exigo to be a polished game offering some neat little twists that, while not revolutionary, still add some interesting elements to the genre.Īfter an amazing CGI intro, Armies of Exigo breaks into an equally amazing looking game. For the most part, Armies of Exigo is your standard, run of the mill RTS in the vein of StarCraft. At first look, Armies of Exigo doesn’t look like much of a step forward for the RTS genre, and you’d be right.
